  • Comment: I said this and then I came across fucking 52 english language sources of varying quality. I'll need no help from WikiProject Japan with sources, but I will need help from WikiProject Philosophy to understand this. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 05:49, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

The Logic of Basho (場所の論理, Basho no ronri)[1] is a philosophical framework developed by Kitaro Nishida, a prominent Japanese philosopher and founder of the Kyoto School[2]. This framework emerged as Nishida’s critical response to Western ontological assumptions and epistemology. Nishida sought to provide an alternative ontology, grounded in experience and self-awareness, that would unify the subjective and objective within a more comprehensive and concrete conception.[3]

The term Basho no Ronri is a slightly less formal phrasing. Ronrigaku is the term for formal logic and ronri is a more informal term.[1] Basho is sometimes translated as topos.[1]

Self-Awareness and World

Nishida questioned how people think about consciousness. He focused on self-awareness. He believed self-awareness was key to understanding consciousness. He said that without self-awareness, consciousness would be like a mechanical reaction. It would not explain awareness. He claimed that self-awareness has a logical structure. This structure links it to the world of objects..[3]

Nishida saw awareness as self-reflexive. He compared it to an infinite set reflecting in its subsets. He thought the world had self-awareness. This is because it reflects in everything that exists. Nishida believed individual self-awareness is part of this larger reflection. He changed how people think about consciousness. He did not see it as just an individual trait. He saw it as a wide field. This field extends beyond the individual. It mirrors the world..[3]

Topos and the Logic of Place

The term "Basho" is Japanese. It means "place" or "topos." Nishida used this term in his work. He said consciousness occupies different 'places' or topoi..[3]

Nishida created a hierarchy of topoi. They range from abstract to concrete. The most abstract topos is universals. These are used in judgments or propositions. The next topos is consciousness. He called this the topos of relative nothingness. It is a 'no-thing' compared to the objects of consciousness. After this is the topos of reflexive self-awareness. This is where seeing, knowing, and desiring happen. Above this is the topos of the "intelligible world." Here, the creative self seeks values. These values include truth, beauty, and goodness. Nishida saw the ultimate topos as absolute nothingness. This topos is beyond description and predication..[3]

Me-Ontology

Nishida had a logical view of topoi. He also had an ontological perspective. He called this 'me-ontology.' This term comes from the Greek word 'meon.' 'Meon' means non-being. The topos of being describes the natural world. The topos of relative nothingness is consciousness. It contrasts with the topos of being. Absolute nothingness underlies both. It transcends their differences. Nishida used the Japanese term 'zettai.' This means absolute. It also suggests breaking through or overcoming opposition. He used this term to explain his idea..[3]
